From time to time there have been read, at meetings 
of the Historical Society of Haddonfield, contributions to 
the history of the town of such importance that it has been 
thought they should be put into print for wider circulation. 

The Society issues this, its first publication, believing 
the papers contained herein will prove of interest and value 
to its members and also to many other loyal citizens. 

Future numbers will appear at intervals as contri- 
butions worthy of such preservation are made, and as tlie 
general interest in the story of Haddonfield seems to justify 
their publication.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MOUNTWELL 

By Julia B. Gill 

The history of Mountwell, the first home and estate 
within the present limits of Haddonfield, begins in England 
where, on March 3, 1676, Francis Collins, afterward our 
first white settler, signed with many others "The Conces- 
sions and Agreements of the Proprietors Freeholders and 
Inhabitants of the Province of West New Jersey in Amer- 
ica." This act was either in anticipation of purchase or 
may have been warranted by some land transaction earlier 
than any of which we have knowledge. 

On June 2, 1677, an Indenture was made between Wil- 
liam Penn, Gawen Lawry and Edward Byllinge of the one 
part, and Francis Collins, of Ratlifif in the parish of Stepney 
in the County of Middlesex, Richard Mew and John Bull, 
whereby for the sums of 200, 100, and 50 pounds respect- 
ively, being the sums for which Edward Byllinge Vv^as 
indebted to them, Francis Collins and his two associates 
became the owners of a large tract of unsurveyed land in 
West New Jersey. This transaction confirmed him as a 
proprietor. 

About a year later, the exact date not being known, 
Francis Collins came to America with his wife Sarah May- 
ham, his son Joseph, and his daughters Sarah, Rebecca, 
Priscilla, Margaret and Elizabeth. He was by trade a 
bricklayer and was a builder of brick structures. Their 
first home was at Burlington where they appear to have 
remained about four years. 

Recalling that in 1677 he had become the owner of cer- 
tain rights in unsurveyed lands, we find that on Oct. 23, 
1682, Francis Collins located five hundred acres of land in 
Newton Township bounded on the west side by the King's 
Road. Two days after, he made another and adjoining sur- 
vey of four hundred and fifty acres. This great estate of 
nine hundred and fifty acres extended from Cooper's Creek 
toward the settlement of Newton, covering a distance of a 
mile and a half and including a large part of the present 
Westm'ont. It lay on both sides of the King's Road for a 
distance of nearly a mile from the present Ellis street 



toward Haddon Heights. The second purchase, four hun- 
dred and fifty acres, passed to Francis CoUins' daughter, 
Sarah Dimsdale, intimate friend of EHzabeth Haddon, and 
on April first, 1725, it was sold by her and so it passed out 
of the Collins family. 

Our special interest concerns the first purchase of five 
hundred acres, for here he built a home. In accordance 
with the English custom of having some particular name 
for each person's estate, he named his estate Mountwell. 
His house was built on the hill south of the King's Road, 
and to know beyond doubt just how that house looked 
would be a great satisfaction to us. Judge Clement, in his 
"First Settlers of Newton Township", gives the opinion 
that the dwelling of Francis Collins was in all probability 
onl}^ a rude wigwam ; but when we recall his trade and the 
records of various brick buildings he had erected in Eng- 
land and at Burlington, we may venture to hold a different 
opinion from that of Haddonfield's venerated historian. 
About twenty-five years ago The Haddonfield Tribune pub- 
lished a photograph of the Mountwell residence together 
with the tradition that it was built previous to 1700. It 
was a brick building, and it requires no stretch of fancy to 
believe it was the house erected by Francis Collins and the 
earliest residence of any white man in the present Had- 
donfield. 

But there was no Haddonfield then, and the home of 
Francis Collins was isolated, five miles from the little vil- 
lage of Newton and without intermediate settlements. Its 
loneliness may be realized by examination of Thomas 
Sharp's map made eighteen years later, which shows but 
five houses between Mountwell and Newton. The Mount- 
well residence was narrow and long, the inside doors were 
painted white and there was a large fireplace in the living 
room. At the southerly side of the house was a frame 
kitchen with a brick fioor, and outside the corner of this 
frame kitchen was a good cistern with fine willow trees 
hanging over it. There was a well also, but the water was 
too deep to be reached. Fine shrubbery of lilac bushes and 
other varieties grew about the house. One of the nT^mbers 
of this Society used to visit at this house about 1856, and 



fhough at that time she knew nothing of its history^ she 
recalls having the impression that the house was very old. 

The period of Francis Collins' actual residence at 
Mountwell was quite brief, probably only seven years, from 
1682 to 1689. His wife had died shortly after their arrival 
in America, and on Dec. 21, I686, he married Mary Budd, 
daughter of Thomas Budd, an early settler and large landed 
proprietor and widow of Dr. John Goslin, a merchant and 
practicing physician of Burlington. She was thirty years 
younger than Francis Collins, and probably preferred the 
vicinity of Burlington as a place of residence; for in 1690, 
as shown by a deed, they were living in Northampton 
Township, Burlington Co., and there is no evidence that 
they ever again lived at Mountwell. It is much to be feared 
that Judge John Clement's charming account of the arrival 
of Elizabeth Haddon at Mountwell, as the guest of Francis 
Collins until her own home could be made ready, is not 
strictly accurate. It must have been Joseph Collins, his 
son, who was her host. 

It appears from recorded documents that, upon the 
second marriage of Francis Collins, Mountwell was involved 
in a trust dated Dec. 21, I686, to Robert Dimsdale and John 
Budd, for the use of any children that might be born of this 
marriage. This was done to guard against the operation of 
the law of descent in force at that day, which gave the old- 
est male child all the real estate of which the parent died 
seized. This trust was abrogated ten years later when the 
father, in connection with his wife and the trustees, con- 
veyed Mountwell to his son Joseph by deed dated Nov. 18, 
1696; and in 1717 the children by the second marriage re- 
leased all their rights in this estate to their half brother. 
An old deed in possession of the writer tells of these agree- 
ments, and it may be interesting to quote here the exact 
language. 

"This Indenture made the Seventeenth Day of the 
twelfth month called February In the Year of our Lord one 
thousand Seven hundred and twenty-four Between Joseph 
Collins of the Township of Newton In the County of Glou- 
cester and Province of New Jersey Yeom: and Katherine

heirs of the sd Mary Collins Widdow & Relict of the sd 
ffrancis Collins have sufficiently Released & Relinquished 
their Right & Title that they might have claimed by Reason 

of ye Deed of Trust by Way of a Joynture "; 

and then the indenture relates a transaction by which Jos- 
eph Collins and his wife sold to John Estaugh two hundred 
and twenty-seven acres of "ye mount Land." 

Joseph Collins and his wife, Katherine Huddleston, 
resided at Mountwell from the time of their marriage, 7 mo. 
1st, 1698, until Joseph's death, 7th mo. 13th, 1741, and the 
brick house witnessed the birth and growth of the grand- 
children of its builder. Joseph and his wife executed to 
their son, Benjamin, a deed for a portion of the Mountwell 
tract fronting on the south side of the King's Road, retain- 



ing to themselves a life estate therein. We will not follow 
the fortunes of this part of the original tract, since it did 
not include the home nor what we know now as Mountwell 
Woods. 

In 1735 Joseph Collins and his wife conveyed to their 
daughter, Rebecca, and her husband, Samuel Clement, 
another part of the Mountwell tract. This part extended 
from the King's Road southwardly to a line running from 
Cooper's Creek westwardly. The consideration for this 
was ^100, and the annual payment was ^10 so long as either 
parent survived. This was the home tract and upon this 
property Samuel Clement and his wife, Rebecca Collins, 
lived for many years, and the brick house, now of venerable 
a^re. welcomed great grandchildren and great great grand- 
children and sped them on their way to their own homes 
and experiences. 

When Samuel Clement and his wife passed away the 
old house and the part of the Mountwell estate that was 
theirs evidently remained in the Clement family for many 
years. Nearly three-quarters of a century later, some time 
between 1826 and 1829, John Gill 4th, a direct descendant 
of Francis Collins through his son, Joseph, and Joseph's 
daughter, Rebecca Clement, became by purchase from Sam- 
uel Clement, called in the records Samuel Clement the 
Elder, the owner of 130 acres of the Mountwell tract, in- 
cluding the old house, and he went there to reside. Through 
some flaw of procedure John Gill 4th did not secure a per- 
fected title deed until Sept. 1, 1838. The place was known 
in the Gill family as "the hill farm", the name Mountwell 
having almost disappeared from memory. John Gill 4th 
lived there until 1844, during which time John Gill 5th and 
William Gill were born there, and his wife Sarah Hopkins, 
great great granddaughter of Ebenezer Hopkins, died. In 
1844 John Gill 4th removed from "the hill farm" to the Gill 
residence on the King's Highway, and with his departure 
the old brick house on the Mountwell estate saw its last of 
private family life and for the first time in one hundred and 
sixty-two years experienced occupation by those who were 
not of direct descent from its builder. 

For a few years tenants occupied the staunch old home, 
and on March 23, 1854, John Gill 4th sold the property, 130 

7 



acres nnr! the home, to the followinof persons: Walter D. 
Bell, William W. Fleming, Samuel Richards, all of Phila- 
delphia, and William Cofifin, of Newton Township, who 
formed the organization known as the Haddonfield Land 
and Improvement Company. Later a Pleasuring Ground 
was carried on there by Jesse Peyton and Charles Shinn. 
This place occupied about twelve acres. It was enclosed 
by a fine, high fence of close, wide boards with pointed tops. 
Visitors paid an entrance fee and found inside a one-story 
house about 75x25 feet, covered over, for enjoyment and 
shelter in stormy weather, while for sunny days there was 
a long open platform for dancing down near the stream. 
There was also a short race course, and a place for rifle 
shooting. The men who composed the Haddonfield Land 
and Improvement Company entertained the hope of build- 
ing up a town on their tract, and they laid off a place for a 
railroad station. But their project failed of success. The 
tract went into litigation and passed through the hands of 
several owners. About 1869 and 1870 the owners were 
Henry Simons and his wife, Caroline. Apparently they 
represented the Vulcan Oil and Mining Company. They 
and others were defendants in a suit and Henry Allen was 
plaintiff. Randall E. Morgan, Sheriff of Camden County, 
gave to Henry Allen, the plaintiff, a deed for all the property 
Jan. 22, 1870. 

Happy times came again to the old brick house when 
on July 6, 1870, Henry Allen sold Mountwell to Rev. T. 
Maxwell Reilly, and on March 29, 1871, his school, St. 
John's Academy, removed there from Burlington. Various 
additions and improvements were made to the old house, 
but it still preserved its ancient quality. Rev. Edward M. 
Reilly tells of having occupied a room on the top floor that 
had never been lathed and plastered. It was papered over- 
head with newspapers, and he recalls one which bore a date 
in 1844. 

For nearly two centuries the old house had withstood 
the wear of time, a silent spectator of changes of customs, 
manners, and modes of thought. But tragedy was soon to 
overtake it. On or about April l5, 1872, it was destroved 
by fire, and the most ancient landmark of Haddonfield 
passed away forever. 

8 



In June, 1909, a portion of the Mountwell tract became 
by purchase the property of the Borough of Haddon field, 
and a second purchase was made by the Borough in Octo- 
ber, 19 15. Neither purchase included the site of Francis 
Collins' home, and on this spot now stands the residence of 
John S. Makin. The vast tracts of Francis Collins have 
been divided and subdivided through the years, and our 
beautiful town has grown up in its strength and dignity on 
his acres that were in his time a wilderness. But our own 
Mountwell Woods, with its fine old trees, charming ravines 
nnd qfrnssy slopes perpetuates the name of the first estate 
in Haddonfield, and keeps alive the story of our first white 
settler, Francis Collins. 



THE TANYARD AND ITS OWNERS 

By Carrie E. Nicholson Hartel 

Although there have been two other tanneries in Had- 
donfield it is the one owned by Samuel Allen which we 
remember as it gave the name to Tanner Street. 

The Tanyard as it was known for many years after 
all signs of the tannery had vanished was on the south side 
of the street between what is now No. 30 and No. 74, and 
extended back to beyond Rosedale Avenue. 

The first record we have concerning it is an "Indenture 
made this fourth day of the fourth month called June in 
the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and thirty 
foure Between John Estaugh of haddonfield in ye county 
of Gloucester and western division of ye province of New 
Jersey and Elizabeth his wife of 3^e one part and John 
Howell Late of Chester in ye province of pensilvania Tan- 
ner of ye other part Whereass John Haddon of London in 
Great brittain Smith Did by one Deed bearing Date" March 
27th 1722 convey unto " John Estaugh and Elizabeth his 
wife" — "400 Acres of Land called and known by ye name 
of Haddonfield." Joseph Collins by indentures dated 11th 
& 12th of February 1724 conveyed unto John Estaugh 125 
acres adjoining the above 400 acres. 

John and Elizabeth Estaugh for the sum of twenty 
pounds sold to John Howell a tract of land "begining at a 
White Oak tree for a corner standing by ye side of ye lane 
that Goes from ye Kings Road (that Goes from Burlington 
to Salem) to ye Great Road that Goes to Coopers Ferry." 

This same oak is a starting point in nearly all of the 
deeds. The land extended along the lane southeast from 
the trees 16 perches, was 20 perches deep and contained 
two acres. 

The deed gave "full power to build Erect and make on 
the same such Dams and Slucies as shall be nessessary for 
ye Raising water to a conveinient head or height for sup- 
plying with water all such Tan Pitts or Vatts as ye sd John 
Howell shall think proper to make or plant thereon." 

II 



Five years later (1739) Howell leased the property to 
Isaac Andrews, tanner, of Haddonfield for one whole year 
for five shillings. The next day however John Howell and 
his wife Katrine gave Andrews a Release and sold him the 
place for 110 pounds securing him for seven years against 
any claim "whatsoever the quit rents 'thereout Issuing to 
our Soverign Lord ye King and Arearages thereof if any 
be only Excepted." 

Twenty years after Isaac Andrews bought of Eliza- 
beth Estaugh, widow, for 14 pounds 15 shillings, another 
piece of land on the Camden side of the first tract contain- 
ing 1 Acre I Rood 36 Perches "strict measure." All of the 
later deeds say "more of less" or thereabouts." 

The first mention 6f the house is in 1722, when William 
Logan Esquire of Philadelphia took a mortgage on the 
property for 487 pounds 8 shillings. 

Andrews must have improved it and made the tannery 
pay or he could not have mortgaged it for about four times 
the price he paid for it ; but hard times "on account of the 
war" must have come upon him ; and possibly ill health for 
in that famous year of 1776 we find that he is dead and his 
widow conveys her right of dower in the premises to his 
executors, Mark Miller and Thomas Redman. 

They "did expose same to sale by public vendue but 
could not procure such Price to be bidden as would be suf- 
ficient to pay mortgage and intrest" which by that time 
amounted to 636 pounds. 

After trying in vain for three years to sell it the execu- 
tors deeded it to Charles Logan, son of William, who had 
died in the meantime, who paid them five shillings and pro- 
fessed himself satisfied. Though I dont see why he should 
have been ; he was a merchant and had no use for a tan- 
yard, especially one here, as he was in business in Peters- 
burg, Va. 

It was eight years before he found a purchaser, John 
Ward, Tanner, of Haddonfield, who paid 450 pounds, which 
shows it had been a very bad investment for the Logans. 

1811 John Ward, yeoman, and Hannah, his wife, hav- 
ing moved to Deptford township, sold the tannery to Sam- 



12 



iiel Brown, Jr., of Haddonfield, Tanner and Currier, for 
;^2400. 

On Christmas Day of the same year, Samuel Brown 
bought nearly three acres more of James Estaugh Hopkins. 

Samuel Brown and wife, Martha, after living at the 
Tanyard several years, went to New York to live, first giv- 
ing Thomas Redman power of attorney to sell their two- 
story brick messuage, tanyard buildings, lot of ground, 
etc., including the Iron Bark Mill, stone table for finishing 
leather, etc., for not less than $2200. 

He sold the property to Thomas and Benjamin Borden, 
of Shrewsbury, N. J. 

By that time it contained over six acres. The new sur- 
veyor did not mention the White Oak nor the lane but, for 
the first time, — Tanners Street. (1826). 

Bordens probably did not operate the tannery for they 
soon sold it to Samuel Allen, also of Shrewsbury, who vv^as 
the ninth owner of the land in just a little over a hundred 
years. He made some improvements, the most permanent 
being the roughcasting of the house as it is at the present 
time. It is No. 38 Tanner Street. 

Mr. J. Lewis Rowand, to whom I am indebted for a 
description of the Tanyard says: "We intended moving 
from Rowandtown (Westmont) March 25th, (1843) but 
as the snow was so deep and the roads not broken we had 
to wait until April 1st. I was not quite seven years old, but 
from that time until I was twelve and started to go to 
school in Camden, I spent a great deal of my time there. 
My father kept me busy Saturdays getting wheelbarrow 
loads of tanbark to put on our garden paths." 

There used to be a pond where Chestnut Street is, and 
the water ran from it into a ditch through the Tanyard 
property on its way to Hopkins Pond. 

Along this ditch were large willows and under the 
largest one, measuring four or five feet in diameter and 
with limbs growing almost straight out from the trunk, 
was the pit in which the hides were placed, covered with 
lime, and left until the hair and surplus flesh and fat were 
loosened. A man wearing a leather apron that covered 

13 



him from neck to feet would lift, with heavy iron hooks, a 
hide from the pit and place it on a rounded wooden block, 
two or three feet long, probably a piece of buttonwood tree 
split in half. Then sitting on the ground he scraped, with 
an instrument like a carpenter's draw knife, all this hair and 
lime and flesh from the skin. It was a messy smelly job. 
After this process the hides were ready to be tanned. 
But first the tan bark had to be ground. 

As there is no hemlock near here, it was, no doubt, oak 
bark that was used, cut in the spring when the sap is begin- 
ning to run. It was brought in big wagons and unloaded at 
the barn which stood along the street. A bark mill, like a 
huge coffee mill, ground the bark after it was broken into 
small pieces, by being held against the rim of the iron bowl 
of the mill and hit with a wooden mallet. A rod went up 
from the center of this bowl and an arm extended from that 
to which was hitched a horse who walked around the mill. 

The vats, in rows, were at the side of the house, near 
where Wilkins Avenue is now. They were about six feet 
deep and a little longer than a hide, lined with heavy planks, 
and one end partitioned off in such a manner as to allow the 
water to filter through into the small compartment, which 
held a pump. A hide was put in a vat and covered with tan- 
hark, another hide and more bark until the vat was full, 
and then v/ater from the v/ell was pumped into it. The 
vats were connected by troughs; when the water in the 
last vat became dark it was pumped out into the ditch and 
water from the next vat was pumped in, and so on until the 
first vat was reached, then that was filled up with fresh 
water. When all the tanning qualities were out of the bark 
the vats were cleaned out and fresh bark put in. 

Along the street was a worm fence, the hides were 
hung on that to dry, and in the workshop were marble 
tables on which they were finished. These tables have 
been cut up and made into tombstones, and are at Coles- 
town at the graves of Samuel Allen, Mary Allen, Mickle 
Clement and Mary W. Clement. 

On account of ill, health Samuel Allen gave up busi- 
ness. James White took charge of the tannery for him for 
a few years, but it must have been abandoned by 1870, for 

14 



Samuel N. Rhoads remembers falling into the empty vats 
about that time. 

Mr. Rowand says: "My mother used to send me to 
Neighbor Allen's to get a cent's worth of cream, and she 
was noted for giving good measure. She was a real neigh- 
bor, everybody loved her, she was a good Christian woman." 
Everyone who remembers her bears witness to her loving 
kindness and mercy in time of sickness or other adversity. 
Her husband, from all accounts, must have been both 
bigoted and cantankerous. 

Mary Allen was an esteemed minister of the Hicksite 
Friends and though Samuel Allen spoke also, his bitter 
denunciations of the Orthodox Friends must have made him 
many enemies. He had hooks and eyes on his clothes as 
buttons were too fancy. He wore a broadbrimmed white 
beaver, and in bad weather, a heavy brown veil to prevent 
asthma. 

For many many years, a large earthenware urn stood 
in the side yard of the house. Tradition says it once be- 
longed to Elizabeth Haddon. In order to better preserve it, 
about fifteen years ago it was moved to A. W. Clement's 
yard, where, the next Hallowe'en, it was thrown over and 
broken. 

Until a few years ago, in the front rooms of the house, 
in both first and second stories, were corner fireplaces with 
little cupboards. In the kitchen is a very large one, in the 
back of it under a shed are iron doors which open to reveal 
an oven. The attic over the back part of the house is unplas- 
tered, and where it is joined to the front roof is a space 
where Samuel Allen kept his money. We have never been 
able to find any which he overlooked. We did see, however, 
the usual attic junk, old books and papers, andirons, spin- 
ning wheels and firebuckets.
